^good point! hadn't thought of that. The BBC is very annoying when it comes to checking Youtube...
Oh yeah and I heard about the Mother Love petition, very good idea. I read it on the Diana Rigg forum, of which I'm also a member.

I just don't understand why the rest of the world can't view it outside the UK??? Very wierd - but, I suppose it's some international law that we'll never understand. Same with all these Regions of DVDs that someone else brought up elsewhere on the Forum - seems daft

I know, it makes absolutely no sense at all!

More high quality pictures of the documentary can be found here

I think the BBC do it as a service for the British licence payer - same as iPlayer, Listen Again and other BBC services. In that respect you can understand their position.

Bloody fantastic! thanks top you and Lyza - what software do you use to get the screen-grabs?

I never take screen caps. I'm really bad at them. And the only way I know how to do it is with windows movie maker.
The pics I uploaded were taken from the tv ahaha, not very professional, I know. And Lyza has an account on some website where they post HQ (high quality) pics, so she doesn't screen cap either...

Don't be embarrassed. It's not your fault and your offer was sweet regardless of the outcome.
Thanks Kim!

There maybe a way around it...I hope!

The programme is available at BBC i player which is not normally viewable outside the UK but if you check this out at youtube it shows how you can change your settings to watch it!

That's a point! The licence fee is getting very expensive!

How do you mean from the TV? How can you get such great quality images from your TV? You take a photo of the screen?

Yes ahaha. I know it sounds strange but that's exactly what I did, I just took pictures of the tv. I held my camera in front of the screen, and was very surprised of the outcome to be honest.

The first 4 parts of the documentary are now on Youtube, the last 2 parts are uploading as we speak
